'V0 Aldi WllOM l'l MAY CONCERN: i

lle it known that I, LEWIS HOLMES, of Keene, in the county of Cheshire, and State of New Hampshire, have invented anew and improved Meat-Broiler; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable those skilled in the art to make and usethc same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.

This invention relates to a new and improved method of 'constructing hroilers for the broiling of meat, whereby the samejs more quickly done, without the escaping of unpleasant odors into the room.

It consists in the broiler being made in two parts hinged together at'one end, 'and secured at the other end by a button, the whole being pivoted to and supported by a bail, within the bend o'f which the same rotates, whereby the same may b e easily vturned over, a handle passing through an eye in said bail, being pivotcd toene end of Vone of the parts of the broiler, by means of whichthe same is operated. In the accompanying plate of drawings- Figure 1 is a plan view of my invention. Figure 2 is a side view of the same.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

'A is one part of the broiler; B is the oth'er part; a is a hinge, by means of which the parts A and I3 are hinged together; a is a. button; C is the bail; c are ears or projections on the part B, to which the bail C is pivoted; e is an eye in the bail C; D is the handle; CZ is an eye or projection in thc-part A, to which the handle I) is pivoted.. The parts A and I3 are made oi' cast iron, in the same general forni,'and are provided with parallel longitudinal bars, as shown in the drawing, in like manner as the gridiron or broilers now eommonlyin use, and may he of any convenient length and width, so as easily to pass through the holes or openings inthe top et' eoelringstoves and ranges. The parts A and B are hinged together at one end, by the hinge a, at such distance apart as'to receive, and contain between the same, any nmeat, as the same is ordinarily cut for broiling. '.lo the part B, at the end ofthe saine opposite to the hinge a, and pivoted in a suitable projection for that purpose, isla. rotating button, a. Said but-ton a may be made of Wire bent in such form, as shown, as to lie over upon the part A,Whereby the parts A and B are held together, and upon any meat contained between the same. Upon each side of the part B, is a projection or cnr, e, being part ont' the part B, or rigidly secured thereto, to which the bail C is pivdted', asshown. The bail C is made et' wire, so bent as to perrnit the broiler to rotate upon vthe pivot e'within the bend of the same; the object of the bail C being to form a convenient means of holding the broiler, or nleving the same from the irc. To the same end of the part A as the button a', is pivotcd, in the middle of the same, the handle I), upon a' projection, cl, cast on the part A to receive the same. The handle I) ismade of wire, and is of suiiieicntlen'gth to extend through an eye, e', formed in the bail C, as shown, and beyond the samc,so as to be of suilcient' length to permit the broil'erto bctnrned over without the same being drawn out from the eye c, and so as to ferm 'a convenient handle, by means ot' which the two parts A and ll maybe opened or separated.

The broiler is used through the boilerdioles in the top oi' an ordinary stove, and is dropped down so as to rest directly upon the tire, the bail() Aand rod D occupying a vertical position, extending through said holes, and held in place by the stove-cover ,or griddle'. In this position the store-cover will very nearly cover. the boiler-hole. The juices are preserved in the meat by 'suddenly scaring it. over very het coals in thc stove. This closes the pores oi' the meat, and prevents the escape of said juices.

The operation is readily seen from the drawing and the above description. y

Constructed as above described, it constitutes a convenient broiler for the broiling of meat, the advantage nl' which Iis that the same may be contained wholly within the rangeor stove, and so covered with the covers of the saine as to revent the risinff in the room oi' un leasant odors.

llnving thus described iny invention, I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent*- A broiler for broiling nient, and foi-'all the purposes for whiehbroilers are used, composed of the parts A :ind ll hinged together, the whole rotating within the bend of a.eoil, C, and operated by a handle, I), substanl tially as shown and described, and for the purposes set forth.
